Suggest Treatment For Severe Neck Pain

I am having pain in what I thought was my neck but I can now tell that it is more like the upper part of my back just before the neck. So, I decided to take a look at my MRI again and I am not sure if this is what s causing the pain. It says; straightening and slight reversal of the normal cervical lordosis. c3/c4 mild to moderate left foraminal stenosis. c4/c5 mild right lateral recess stenosis. Moderate right and mild to moderate left foraminal stenosis. same with c5/c6 and c6/c7

Hi
I have gone your considerations.
YOU HAVE CERVICAL SPINE PROBLEM WHICH IS CAUSING PAIN
If i were treating you in my clinic i would suggest
1-A centrally acting muscle relaxant such as tizanidine 4 mg or baclofen.
2-An oral nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug such as aceclofenac 100mg or ibuprofen provided there is no allergy to these.
3-i would also suggest some targeted exercises for the neck.

As these drugs are available on prescription i suggest you should meet a neurosurgeon and a physiotherapist.

Thanks.
Hope the answer is helpful
Your querries will be appreciated
Wish you good health
